The Greek word for "money bag" is "glōssokomon," which refers to a small box or bag used to hold money. This role entrusted to Judas indicates a level of trust and responsibility given to him by Jesus and the other disciples. Historically, this position would have been significant, as it involved managing the group's finances and ensuring their needs were met. The fact that Judas held this position adds a layer of complexity to his later betrayal, as it underscores the depth of his fall from trust.some thought that Jesus was telling him This phrase reflects the disciples' misunderstanding of Jesus' intentions. The Greek word "dokeō" is used here, meaning "to think" or "to suppose." It suggests that the disciples were making assumptions based on their limited understanding of the situation. This moment captures the human tendency to interpret actions based on surface-level observations without grasping the deeper spiritual realities at play. It also highlights the disciples' lack of awareness of Judas's impending betrayal, as they did not suspect any wrongdoing.to buy what was needed for the feast The mention of the "feast" refers to the Passover, a significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. The Greek word "heortē" is used for "feast," indicating a time of celebration and religious observance. This context emphasizes the importance of the Passover in Jewish life and the disciples' focus on practical preparations for the celebration. It also underscores the irony of the situation, as Judas's actions were leading to the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover through Jesus' sacrificial death.or to give something to the poor This phrase reflects a common practice during Jewish festivals, where almsgiving was encouraged as an act of piety and compassion. The Greek word "ptōchos" is used for "poor," highlighting those in need within the community. The disciples' assumption that Judas might be sent to give to the poor aligns with Jesus' teachings on charity and care for the marginalized. This expectation further illustrates their misunderstanding of the gravity of the moment and Judas's true intentions. It also serves as a reminder of the Christian call to generosity and service to others, reflecting Jesus' heart for the poor and needy.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/john/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(29) Because Judas had the bag.--Comp.
